We go back to choosing these teams by CIF divisions instead of large, medium & small, but for the combined Open Division & Division I we have doubled it in size compared to the others to account for the difference in competitive equity. Every CIF state champion has at least two players chosen to one of these teams as well as some of the second-place squads. It’s a cast of 115 strong in all.
Note: We’ll have an inside look at this year’s boys basketball all-state team posted after all of the teams are chosen, including names of other players who just missed. That post plus our just added archive of all-time all-state teams by division, various player rankings for the Class of 2017 and Class of 2018 and Class of 2019 are for Gold Members only.

(Players on teams that were not in the NorCal or SoCal regional playoffs were chosen in divisions their teams would have been in had they advanced that far)
